Scope of the Report

International mobile roaming service refers to a global communication service system that allows mobile communication users to continuously use voice, SMS, and data services when they leave the coverage area of ​​their home country's operator network, through interconnection with overseas operator networks. This system is based on cross-operator agreements, international billing and settlement mechanisms, and a global network interconnection architecture, and is jointly constituted by basic telecommunications operators, roaming exchange platforms, and wholesale communication networks. International roaming service has expanded from traditional voice roaming to data roaming, enterprise cross-border connectivity services, and eSIM digital roaming services, forming a global mobile connectivity infrastructure covering both personal and enterprise communications.

The growth of international mobile roaming services is driven by a combination of factors, including global cross-border population movement, international business operations, and the trend towards borderless digital services. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) continues to emphasize the importance of global mobile communication interconnectivity, and regulatory agencies in various countries are also pushing for reduced cross-border communication costs and improved network interoperability.

In terms of driving factors, the recovery of cross-border tourism and business travel is boosting demand for high-frequency roaming; multinational corporations are increasing their demand for globally unified communications and device connectivity capabilities, particularly in finance, logistics, and manufacturing; and the widespread adoption of eSIM technology is driving the migration of roaming from physical SIM cards to digital services, reducing user switching costs. Challenges include the complexity of international settlements, differences in regulatory policies across countries, and pressure for greater transparency in roaming tariffs. Global operators such as Vodafone, Deutsche Telekom, and AT&T are accelerating the launch of global roaming packages to compete on price, while roaming exchange platforms such as Syniverse and BICS are improving underlying interconnectivity, gradually shifting the market structure from "operator-driven pricing" to "platform-based competition."
